It says in September, a "new release of Daiden". Ochiden is numbered, Itsuten Seitokai is numbered, but why is Daiden not numbered 12? Why is it not "大伝説の勇者の伝説 12" but instead "大伝説の勇者の伝説の新刊 (new release of Daiden)"? Kagami, are you seriously going to make the fifth series of Denyuuden world? Got to check 2ch's speculations when I got time.

Ok, I've made a research for this series, some friends will give me their tak˘bon, and I get the BDrips (or DVD?), so I have two questions:

1) Do I watch anime first?
2) Will we get a finish soon?

I didn't read DYD's Wikipedia. Some page sent me there, but another sent me to Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei Wiki (such nice explanations btw).

Edit:

Also, will there be 2nd season?

I've found this about 5min ago: 26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3nm67868G1qjerlko1_1280.jpg

1)In my Opinion yeah.
2)What do you mean ? Do you mean is the LN going to finish soon then I think no.
3)There is nothing so far on a second season of the Anime yet and from what I heard DVD/Blu Ray sales were not that good. There is a lot material for a season 2 though.

If you already reading the books, there's no need for you to watch the anime at all. In fact, after reading, you might rage at some episodes of the anime. Seriously speaking, the butchering by Zexcs is on a different level compared to other studios.

You can read Ochiden any time you want, though for volumes after 3 or 4, preferably as you read Dai DYD, because it fleshes out certain characters that are more heavily involved there.

If you manage to get hold of the supplementaries from the BD, they will be good reads after finishing Dai DYD (or as you read along Dai DYD) since it offers good background info on the history of some entities.

As to whether there will be a second season, one can only hope.

After reading the stories, I suggest to read Kagami's profile on his blog, and you will understand why he wrote such a story.

And let me repeat, since you already can read the raws (Haruhi bless you), do not read the Wiki no matter how tempted you are or you will be massively spoiled!

And welcome to the club. Hope you join TL ranks for this series LOL (It's a million times easier to TL than Mahouka)

After reading this series, check out Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi by the same author (which I've TLed to v5), the theme is basically the same (overcoming SHIT) but the execution and setting different. After v6 of Itsuten, you will get mindgasms of astronomical proportions with every volume.

Oh yeah, guys, side note, there will be no new Denyuuden series as speculated but Daiden v12 in September instead (T_T, ^_^)

^ If you are as lazy as me and tend to skim through and gloss over parts that seemed to be covered by the anime, then don't watch the anime first. There are several significant alterations and stitch-ups in the anime.
DYD is 11 volumes of Prologue. In between, 11 volumes of Toriden covers side stories and background stories, and some of them are really good.
After DYD, it's Daiden, which starts the main story, and up till now it's at 11 volumes (12th volume this Sep). Ochiden (now 7 volumes) covers essentially the revolution arc after DYD v1, and has some important information about certain individuals. And of course, there's Sion's notes as the supplements with the BDs that talk about the history of the 'Powers' and how the world came to be. This puts the entire series at 40 volumes now (all cannon). On average, Kagami writes about 6 volumes' worth of stories in a year, if we include Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi as well (currently at 15 volumes, including side stories).

I will read up to those before watch anime (I usually don't care about anime adaptations).

Also, 11 volumes of prologue??? Wtf, honestly

I read chapter 1 yesterday, and I like the MC (?) Ryner. Seems to be a lazy ass. Also, I think this novel deals with political and another themes also, right?
And Sion... I think he's a bit... gay?

Btw, I'd dropped Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi after watch its anime. It wasn't that amusing for me.

25 episodes covered 11 volumes.

For Itsuten, it's a right decision to drop the anime (but not the novel) because 10 out of 12 episodes were like original scripts? Only the first 2 episodes were faithful to the source and 2 episodes covered an entire volume. Every episode after episode 3 randomly gets some content and plot devices from volumes 2 to 5 (and conveniently omitting the 470-page volume 4) mixed in with a bunch of original content and stitch them up to make a poor excuse of a story. When you see Zexcs as the animation studio, don't judge the source (I'll curse Zexcs to the end of hell after ruining 3 of my favorite series, especially Itsuten). Moreover, Itsuten only gives you mind orgasms after volume 6, more so than Denyuuden, since it has really wicked twists each volume after 6. Though Denyuuden is still my favorite due to the scale of the world and characters. Oh, and did I mention that Itsuten has more shocking revelations? Oh, did I mention that Denyuuden has freaking awesome side characters and plot? Oh... errh... what else haven't I mentioned?

EDIT: btw, for Itsuten, take a look at its first PV which has no animation at all. Pay attention to all the text. 1:06 and 1:09 puts out some crazy terms that should give an idea that the story has pretty dark elements and encompasses some major scale and shit (which the anime hardly touched on). Here's the link to the first PV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=LfI2sNKxjxk It's such a moving PV (to me) but Zexcs had to f**k it up even more than Denyuuden and Fortune Arterial. At least Denyuuden had a few good fight scenes.

hello, sorry for the bad english im new in the forum, i want to ask if somebody knows what happen in the daiden vol 11 and wath happen to ryner and ferris in the last illustration when they seems to be holding each other while they sheed tears. Xp

i just seen raws for vol 13 but wasnt this supposed to end at vol 12? the main story i mean, i haven't read this thread in a long time so sorry for making confusion but so at vol 13 this as ended or is still ongoing?

So i watched the anime and now i want to continue with the light novel, but the thing is i dont know where to start reading or even.where to.read it. Can you help me out?

Oh and does ryner ever take ferris or kiefer as a gf?

Ok, you can (assuming you want too) start reading the Densetsu no Yūsha no Densetsu light novel, which is what the anime is based on. Or can choose to start with the Dai Densetsu no Yūsha no Densetsu light novel, which takes place right after the Densetsu no Yūsha no Densetsu light novel and the anime based on it ended.
As to where you can go to read it, you can go to Baka Tsuki to read what has been translated so far into english Here is link to the site Dai Densetsu no Yūsha no Densetsu, enjoy.
